    Brenda Holloway - After All That You've Done

    I watched the documentary Hitsville USA: The Making of Motown the other week. [[I loved it, it was awesome, of course ) One of the bits that stuck with me was when Smokey was talking about how Berry taught him to write a song: like a story, with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

    Then, the other day, this song, from the expanded edition of The Artistry of Brenda Holloway, came up on shuffle. I had never heard it before, and I had no idea who had written or produced it, but once I had listened to it, I just knew it was a Smokey song.



    So, I just thought it was an excellent example of how to write an excellent song.

    P.S. I’m not sure the sound quality is that great on this clip, but it’s the only one I could find

    I have the actual CD that Ace/Kent released and I just played it again over the weekend.
    If there are any Brenda Holloway fans who don't have this CD, I wholeheartedly suggest
    that they get one. Every song included is fabulous, in fact, I heard one or two of the
    songs on Sirius Channel 49 in the last couple of days.
